Description
Hi everyone,
as for the title, my challenge suggestion consists in writing a code (p5.js and much else?) to generate rotating procedural magic circles, where for "magic circles" I mean something ranging between [Full Metal Alchemist alchemic circles](https://i.stack.imgur.com/dmAaD.jpg) to any [magical summon glyph](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/rwby/images/5/59/Glynda_glyph.png) as well as [Doctor Strange mystic arts](https://static.wallpaperwaifu.com/videos/preview/2020/doctor-strange-magic-circle-preview.mp4).
Within the Coding Train Challenges I've found the _54_ [Islamic Star Patterns](https://thecodingtrain.com/CodingChallenges/054.1-starpatterns.html) and the _155_ [Kaleidoscope Snowflake](https://thecodingtrain.com/CodingChallenges/155-kaleidoscope-snowflake.html) ones to have similarities and being potential starting points, while on the web I've found [this generator](https://github.com/CiaccoDavide/Alchemy-Circles-Generator) of static alchemic circles and [one animated proof of concept](https://codepen.io/anon/pen/GGXgvd?editors=1100) built after it though without the actual generation of patterns.
However what's lacking in those examples, for which I challenge The Coding Train, it is to build all features together to end up having a working procedural patterns animation. Possibly I'd add to this some colour changes, glowing effects, and moreover (because otherwise it wouldn't be much of a challenge I guess) symbols and sentences in ancient-script-like language (like Aramaic) running along lines, to be randomly pulled out from some license-free text, to fit the generated geometries and complete the mystic feeling!
If Dan even manages to make circles fade into one another after a while, it would serve as a great screen-saver: is it not worth the challenge? ;D
